Cutting up the vegetables can take some time but the end result of a crock pot of simmering Beef Stew is worth the effort.

First I chopped up some potatoes.

I greased my crock pot before adding any of the ingredients.

Next I dumped the potatoes into the prepared crock pot and spread them out evenly.

Then I prepared the meat layer by making sure the stewing beef was cut into 1 inch cubes before dumping the meat in on top of the potatoes.

After the beef I cut up some green pepper and yellow onion.

I also cut up some baby carrots.

You could cut up all your vegetables the night before to save time and then just keep them in the fridge.

Then I spread the cut vegetables out over top of the meat in the crock pot.  I did not stir.

I sprinkled the vegetables with some salt and pepper.

After seasoning I poured some gluten free mushroom broth into the crockpot but I did not stir.

Next I poured a tin of diced tomatoes in on top of the carrots.  I did not stir.

The final addition to the pot was some tomato paste that I dropped by spoonfuls on top of the diced tomatoes.  I did not stir.

Then I placed the lid on the crock pot.

I set the pot to cook on low power for 8 hours.

After 7 hours I removed the lid and sprinkled in some frozen corn and some frozen peas.  I replaced the lid and let the stew cook again.

With about 30 minutes remaining in the cook time I removed the lid again and stirred everything together and then put the lid back on the crock pot.

Crock Pot Beef Stew is loaded with vegetables and meat.  It is a hearty one pot meal to serve in the cooler weather.

Give it another good stir before serving it up so you get a good blend of all the wholesome ingredients in every serving.

One pot meals might take a bit more prep time but they are sure worth the effort!

Enjoy this hearty meal with a slice of toast or whip up a batch of your favourite biscuits.  You might like to try Gluten Free Biscuits, or Almond Flour Biscuits.
